Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
  2. 16 oz. linguine
  3. 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 1 lb. cooked Italian chicken sausage, sliced on a bias
  5. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  6. 2 c. finely chopped tomatoes
  7. 1/2 c. heavy cream
  8. 1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
  9. Freshly ground black pepper
  10. 2 c. baby spinach
  11. Fresh torn basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to package directions. Drain.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until seared on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a low boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add pasta and spinach to skillet and toss until pasta is fully coated in sauce and spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with basil and more Parmesan.
